This first-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an affordable entry into Romford with a private balcony and easy walking access to Harold Wood Elizabeth Line. The compact layout (approx. 463 sq ft) makes it suitable for a single occupant or couple seeking a low-maintenance home or a rental investment with good transport links.
Practical features include an extended lease (about 119–120 years remaining), double glazing, mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, and an intercom entry system. Communal outdoor space and a drying area sit to the front of the block, with on-street or communal parking nearby.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the building is a mid‑20th century brick block likely without wall insulation, so heating costs and retrofit work may be needed to improve thermal performance. The immediate neighbourhood scores high on area deprivation and is described as hampered — factor local social and economic conditions into suitability. Service charge is around £1,500 pa and ground rent low at £10 pa.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordably priced flat for a first-time buyer, professional or investor wanting a manageable property near fast commuter links. It will suit those comfortable with a compact living footprint and potential modest refurbishment to improve energy efficiency and finish.
